WEBVTT - A Message for Decrypted Listeners

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Ellen Hewitt. I'm a reporter for Bloomberg Technology.

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>You're hearing from you now because we're making some changes.

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Last year, we aired our final episode of Decrypted, and

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>since then, our podcast team at Bloomberg Technology has been

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>hard at work on something new. It's a serialized show

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>called Foundering. Each season, our reporters will bring you inside

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 1>one big story, focusing on the high stakes dramas of

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley. This season, we're telling the story of Adam

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Newman and his controversial company We Work. I've been reporting

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>on we Work for four years now, and when I

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>first started, I thought it was just like any other startup.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>But I realized really early on that there was more

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to this story. That We Worked was a weird company

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that did weird stuff, and it started raising a lot

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of money, getting more attention, and then by the time

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole world was watching, it all fell apart. I

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>want to give you a sense of what We Work

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>was really like, how it all unfull did. There were

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>so many parts of my reporting that I couldn't quite

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>fit into print stories that I'm really excited to dig

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>into here. We'll spend a whole season following We Works

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>wild ride from hot startup to failed I p O

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and beyond. We're telling you about the new show because

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we think you'll like it. Just like Decrypted, Foundering will

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>use Bloomberg's expert reporting to illuminate the biggest topics and technology,

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>but each season we'll go deeper. We're really proud of

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the new show, and we hope you'll give it a listen.

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Foundering will launch later this month. Thanks for listening.
